18 HOURS OF AGONY Sir John Simon's Trip to Rome: Miss Made-
DO YOU KNOW THAT every meal you eat has to travel a distance of over
25 feet through your body? THAT normally it takes be
tween 18 and 24 hours over the journey?
THAT you extract nearly all the goodness from your food not in your Stomach but in the Small Intestine ?
THAT this organ is a colled tube an inch across and actually 90 feet long?"
THAT during this diges
tive journey many com. plicated and delicate processes take place? THAT any one of these te may go wrong
THAT that result will
be INDIGESTION- which, if neglected, may lead to serious sequences?

FROM PARIS TO CAPRI
London, December 27. Sir John Simon's "omelally un- official" tour will have started on its second stage by to-morrow evening. when he will have left Parts for the island of Capri, where once the Emperor Tiberius sought seclusion from the cares of State.
Capri, by- decree of Signor; Mussolini, has been made sanc- tuary for birds.
It would have been somewhat ironical had this spot, which men have made safe for birds, been the scene of a discussion to make the world safe for men.
But that is not to be.
I learn that Sir John's conver- sation with Mussolini will take -place in Rome on his way back to
London.
The present Foreign Secretary has thus quite broken away from the Chamberlain tradition, which favoured a yacht in the Mediter- ranean as the most suitable locale tor such exchanges of views.
MADELEINE CARROLL'S
AMBITION.
Milss Madeleine Carroll confess- ed to me recently that her greatest ambition was to become. a good public speaker. Those who heard her speak at the King George Hospital dinner at the House would agree, that there is no need for her to think in terms of the future.
Mansion
Her speech of eight minutes show that acting is not the only medium in which she can excel.
for Miss Carroll is leaving Hollywood at the end of January. This is her first visit to the film Mecca.

Her husband, Capt Philip Astley, told me that he had had a meal in the Mansion House on only one previous occasion. was when he commanded escort to the Garter King-at-Arms who read the Proclamation of Peace at the end of the war.
Capt. Astley seems to have made a "corner la celebrations asso- ciated with the Peace. In the vic tory march of the Allled Armies the through Parls he headed British Army, being preceded only by Lord Haig with his Staff, and a band.

"THE SIGN OF THE TUDOR "ROSE."
#
With the King and Queen and every member of the royal family now enrolled in its membership, the Tudor Rose League, I was in- formed by one of its directors to- day, is establishing a wide range of influence in.. persuading the pubile to give preference to British goods in all their purchases. Its membership nas now reached over 300,000, all of whom wear the badge of the Tudor rose signifying co-operation. The same sign is being displayed by many of the West-End stores and other shops, by which they proclaimed that they wish to offer Empire goods as a frst choice to their custom- ers. Glasgow and Edinburgh are credited by the-League here as showing an exceptionally good example in this form of practical patriotism compared with other large cities.
99 YEARS AGO.
Ninety-nine years ago to-day the first hansom cab appeared on the streets of Londari. It became the fashionable vehicle of Victorian days...
Joseph Aloysius Hansom, its in- ventor, called it the "Fatent Safe- ty Cab." He got £10.000 for his designi...
In the original cab the driver sat at the side instead of on the roof, as in the later model.
Hansom, the son of " York joiner, became an architect. He ballt Roman Catholic Churches, convents and Plymouth Cathedral.
Hls design for Birmingham Town Hall was accepted when he was 28. He lived to the age of 99.

As a result of the many bankFlag. Lieutenant and Lieutenant- failures and the disclosures at the recent public inquiries, bankers are not over-populär in the United States at the present moment.
Stories at their expense have been legion. Here is the latest to reach me;
"Two burglars who broke into an American banker's house man- aged to get away without losing anything."
BISMARCK'S WAY,
Commander to the late Admiral Sir Francis Bridgeman. In 1914-16 he was signal officer on the staff of Admiral Jellicoe in HMS. Iron Duke, and controlled the vasaal signalling work at the battle" of Jutland. for which he was made D.S.O. A bar to this decoration was awarded him' in 1917, when in command of the light cruiser Topaze. His last appointment in the Navy was as Captain of the Dockyard and King's Harbour Mas- ter at Portamouth, in 1826-28, ·"
CANDLE-LIT SQUARE.
There is one part of London, at least, where old-world customis are preserved at this time of the
year.
Stories of the old rivals, Bis- marck and Disraeli, have been re- vived in Paris by the production of a new musical comedy in which Bismarck is a leading character.
Bismarck is reputed to have been asked by Disraeli, when he was

At that moment there was a knock at the door, and Bismarck's Bis valvet entered the room. Majesty wishes to speak to your Highness," he announced."

REFEREED 2,000 FIGHTS.
Eugene Corri used to claim that he had refereed more boxing championships than any other man. Certainly in thirty years' re- fereeing an estimate of over 2,000 combats which he had controlled was probably conservative.
He was not always a" profes- alonal referee. Up to 1812 he was a stockbroker's clerk. Then he set up on his own as a stockbroker, For a short time he had some success, but later. he became in- volved in various financial difficul- tles, from which he was never really free for the rest of his life.
He was Trish, in spite of his Italian name. His father, Patrick Corry, was a member of the Cari Rosa Opera Company, and changed his name for professional reasons CHANCELLOR OF CAMBRIDGE,
